The Eastern Grey is the most commonly spotted species of Kangaroo due to its amazing adaptability.
Eastern Greys inhabit grasslands, woodlands, mountain forests, sub-tropical forests, coastal areas and inland scrubs. They tend to choose land with areas of bush for shelter during the day, and ventures out to graze on nearby pastures of green grass in the night. Eastern Grey Kangaroos live in areas that tend to have more than 250 mm of average annual rainfall.
The Eastern Grey Kangaroos population has increased since European settlement due to the improvement in pasture, and the better provision of watering points for stock.
They can be found inhabiting the Eastern states of Australia, including Tasmania. (See Figure 1).
Mobs of Kangaroos travel long distances. They can easily get their way past man made barriers such as fences.
